Lore Hound LiveCast: Open Q&A, Discussions + More!

29 November 2010 | 3 Comments » | Mordil

Due to popular demand of video discussions, I have taken it upon myself to have a monthly community event of sorts.

On Saturday, December 4th at 2:00 PM PST (5:00 PM EST), I, and some special guest(s) will be on camera, for two hours. Just for you readers! Those in attendance loved my Wednesday live stream of the updated dungeons and the banter between us hosting, that I decided “Why not go on camera and have more banter?”

This is a new regular event that I will focus on. It being new, I would like comments on how you liked it (after, of course) and what you would like to see in the future. As of now, it is a work-in-progress to find that specific “niche” way to do it. What we will do is essentially introduce ourselves, discuss a few items on our hidden agenda, and then leave it open to the public.

You could use it simply to say thanks for the site, suggest things you would like to see happen (on camera or the site!), ask about what’s planned, or simply to find some way for us to begin “discussing” lore or other MMO/gaming topics until we’re blue in the face.

Warning: Content could be NSFW (not safe for work…or children, adults, seniors citizens, zombies, spacegoats, witches / wizards, warlocks, monks, or elves. In fact, it might be safe to just not listen to us — but watch)

The content is really up to the viewers to decide what they want from us, and what to talk about. Seriously. If you want me to jump up and down, while patting my head and rubbing my stomach, I’ll do it (Ed’s. Note: Make him do it every five minutes).

Hope to see many of you there, Lore Hounds!

BlizzCon 2010: Day 2 Photos

24 October 2010 | No Comments » | Mordil

As we grab our goodies and head for the exit here in Anaheim, California, we look back on the past two days with much excitement. Many interesting things are coming, most of all Deathwing with the Cataclysmic tantrum he’s about to throw. I apologize for the lighting in most of them, as it wasn’t very good in the auditorium.

As a special treat, for those who didn’t see it already: here is the log in screen for Cataclysm. It’s exactly the same as we posted before, just a different angle. This is the “official” final version. The other is just a better lighted one.

After much planning and hard work from the Lore Hound crew, we grab a few drinks and mingle with the crowd. Here are some photos from today’s shenanigans to satisfy you until we can get the video editing under way in the coming week. It’s almost like you were there yourself!

Cataclysm: High Expectations for Guild Perks

19 July 2010 | 3 Comments » | Mordil

Preview from BlizzCon '09

Within the continuing Beta for World of Warcraft: Cataclysm, things are changing. The wind of evolution happens daily and is followed closely by ravenous gamers.

Since BlizzCon 2009, many of us have been looking forward to this summer and fall, with the releases of Cataclysm and, in one week, Star Craft II.

Amatera posted his thoughts on the reasoning behind why Blizzard has been cutting out some of the most highly anticipated features of Cataclysm. Luckily, Guild Progression, which encompasses leveling and talent tress, is still in. Now, it’s just called Guild Perks.

I’m happy to see Guild Perks still mostly in its first-draft design. In my opinion, there’s not much that could go wrong with the concept. Regardless, I do think that the benefits given are pretty OP. From simple EXP buffs, to mount speed increases, to handy buffs to gold and reputation earning, there’s a lot to look at.

Read on for the full list of all talents and some of my thoughts on them. Continue Reading
